This was my first run also and I think I learned quite a bit. My biggest issue was getting pollinated from local wild hemp plants. I think next year I'll go with a poly tunnel greenhouse to mitigate that. Powdery mildew is a big thing around me so I treated with neem oil at forst signs and it seemed to work well, it also seemed to keep pests at bay. I grew two groups one month apart and the first I didn't do any pruning which was a mistake, I had to do it late flower which stressed the plants out quite a bit. They slowed they're growth for a week. I used just organic garden soil from my local nursery mixed with a couple pounds cocoa coir to soak up extra water and some perilght. I grew in 20 gallon pots and 5 gallon pots. Not sure why but every one of the 5 gallon pot girls have super dense buds. I used advanced nutrients line (micro, veg, bloom, big bud, overdrive, bud candy) also added terpinator to the mix. First batch i used half recommended nutrients and second batch I used full strength... wish I would have went full strength with both. Those girls took the full strength no problem and got super super frosty and literally are sticky like glue!! I have well water so I use ph down after mixing nutrients to 6.2 - 6.3. I feed everywhere watering and water when needed once soil is dry and fluffy 3 inches down. Hope this rambling helps!
